When I went looking for these, I was surprised to find how limited the shopping options actually were. I'd have gone for more hemispherical ones had I been able to find them.

(Or, in short, I agree...)

As the Christmas season approaches, Michaels tends to carry vast quantities of clear plastic spherical Christmas ornaments, some of which come in two halves. I loaded up on them last season, thinking they might make good effect domes (and planets for sci fi games).

...

As for the reveal, now I understand why the folks at Reaper have been discussing Dreadmere so much.

What a thing to wake up to. The three new ones for the core set are great and did I say I think this is the best core set so far already? ^^

Really excited to see what will come next in this Dreadmere expansion. Jacob, Reisman, Worden and Wladislaw are good examples for "thugs" for me. They don't look heroic and I can see them robbing a struggling PC behind a tavern as well as storming a castle as part of an angry mob or robbing merchants on the lonely roads around the village.

I do hope we will get some creative undead and monsters, the Bonesack dude is a good start.

You can find them all year around at Hobby Lobby if you have one close. The last time I was there, they had 2 sizes of the ones that come in halves. I sure do miss having craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels, there is just nothing comparable in Oz.

Sounds like you just stumbled on a great business venture for yourself! Start a franchise craft company and you'd be rich!

The link is buried somewhere in the fifteen thousand KS comments, and I don't get the Dice Tower Weekly KS round up. But Dice tower does that, and a blurb about the Bones KS was in there.

Met Tom Vassel at Dice Tower con this year. Seems like a nice guy. The con was fun. It sucks that they limit the number of tickets sold, but at the same time, I think that's part of the reason why we had a good time at a full, but not over crowded con.

I will mention, that Dice Tower is far more board game centered. Though I ended up playing Pathfinder almost the entire weekend, because I play board games when I don't have an opportunity to play RPG's.

Aww... I could have met Thes! This was my 2nd year at Dice Tower con, and spent my time board gaming. The con is in Orlando, FL for five days and they have a HUGE lending library. You go up, tell them what you want, they get the game (if it isn't checked out) scan the game, scan your badge, and you have it for 24 hours before they start nagging you over the intercom.

My husband and I went with a list of 'We think this might be interesting, but do we want to spend the money' and checked out and played games. Cool stuff Inc has a scratch and dent sale they restock 3 times a day, and given how much travelling my games do and how minor the damage usually is, it's a great way to save some money.

About this project
Overview
Help us launch our first line of plastic miniatures for the tabletop games we all play and love. Run by a family of gamers, Role 4 Initiative brings decades of experience in gaming and design.
You've seen our dungeon tiles and polyhedral dice, now we wish to bring that same quality and value to the table with 28mm high-detail pre-painted plastic miniatures.
Starting off with some of the most common player and monster types (Humans, Orcs, Zombies, and Skeletons), we will be producing all of our minis in sets of 6 or more per category, so you can easily and cheaply outfit your game with the figures you need.
Our goal is to bring a very highly detailed set of miniatures, with excellent paint jobs for a reasonable price. We all love gaming, but we're not all great artists. So, we will always provide miniatures that are fully assembled, professionally painted, and ready to use.
Our minis are made from a PVC material that provide both durability and flexibility. We also have gone to great lengths to bring as much realism as possible by providing proper anatomical proportions in a 60:1 scale.

The Process
First, we thought about some of the most memorable encounters of our games, wishing we had some appropriate miniatures to represent the characters and monsters in the story.

Then we envisioned what these characters would look like and hired artists to create 3D models, 2D renderings, and background scenery that fit our stories. But made sure they could easily fit your stories too.

Finally, we took these models and renderings to our factory to create the plastic injection molds from which we were able to produce the painted samples you see below.

Newly Cast Bust
In 2016, our son who has Down syndrome graduated from high school. Most of the options for the disabled are limited so we decided to create our own opportunities for him. My wife left her career and we started Boyd's Toys. We are a small, family run business that specializes in resin cast figures and commercial printing. We do our own 3D printing, mold making, vacuum and pressure casting. John Boyd has over 30 years of printing and design experience and his favorite past time is table top games. We started creating our own figures in resin about 18 months ago on a 15 mm project called Chronicles of the Wayfarer. What is this project? Chronicles of the Wayfarer is a 15 mm war-game that has been under development for over a year now. It has two complete armies to support it and two more on the way. We have decided to release four busts to help raise funds and create a fan base to continue the development of CotW, so stay tuned ... three more are coming.
Below you will find a sample selection of our upcoming release of Chronicles of the Wayfarer. These are 15 mm leaders of the Kilnites. Left to right: Knight of the Kiln, War Screamer, Shield Legion, and Crossbowmen Leader. These are submissions from a recent painting contest that we sponsored.

For the first 48 hours we will be offering a free 30mm figure of the Lawgiver, "Unmasked". This figure will only be available in one of two ways and will never be sold by us after this Kickstarter. Anyone ordering a bust in the first 48 hours will receive one free. Anyone sharing our Kickstarter announcement on our Facebook page will be entered for a chance to win one of 10 figures.

Anyone participating in the Kickstarter will have the ability to purchase additional figures. Once this campaign is done this version of the Lawgiver will be retired and his mask goes back on.

Hi friends:
After hard months of working, we´ve improved the game Iron League Blacks Stadium and the art has changed. Mechs and miniatures are amazing now. The board game has a new full cooperative campaign with map, scenary and enemies generation.
The competitive mode continues and has been improved.
So, we also want to change the title of the game, and this is:
IRON WARS
In July on Kickstarter. Soon more news.
